We report the first published case of a mucocele found in a pneumatized pterygoid process (PPP) managed by endonasal endoscopic surgery. This case report highlights the difficulties that can arise from PPP during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) as the one encountered here

Rare Phenomenon

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is most commonly used in chronic rhinosinusitis treatment. This method is also applicable to other diseases, including the treatment of symptomatic ectopic teeth. Ectopic teeth are a quite rare phenomenon. They may appear within the facial region, as well as in other parts of the body. The article describes two cases of ectopic teeth appearing within the nose area and paranasal sinuses, there endoscopic surgery has been used in the extraction, which resulted in the remission of symptoms.

AbstractBackgroundAutoinflation devices are commonly used for otitis media with effusion and Eustachian tube dysfunction. Generally, these are very safe devices, with few or no complications.Case reportThis paper presents a case study of pneumocephalus and orbital emphysema, associated with the use of an autoinflation device, in a 73-year-old woman with Eustachian tube dysfunction and otitis media with effusion, and a history of extensive endoscopic sinus surgery 13 years previously.ConclusionA literature review showed autoinflation-related pneumocephalus in patients with skull base defects relating to cranial surgery or tumours; however, this has not been described previously with the Otovent system or its use in relation to functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Given the theoretical risk of undetected bony abnormalities in post-operative functional endoscopic sinus surgery patients, it is suggested that autoinflation devices are used cautiously in patients with a history of sinus surgery.

AbstractIn this paper we present the first ever reported case of simultaneously occurring bilateral antrochoanal polyps in a fit 12-year-old child. The antrochoanal polyps (ACP) were removed using functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) which achieved complete cure. Histological analysis of the polyps showed them to be of benign inflammatory origin.

Life Threatening

Abstract Sphenoid sinus affections in children are very rare occurrences due to the late development of the sinus and treatment may present quite a challenge even to the most skillful surgeon because of the small nasal fossae. Due to the often vague and uncharacteristic symptomatology sphenoid sinus disease is misdiagnosed and the treatment is delayed, sometimes with serious complications that are life threatening if not properly managed. We present the case of a six year old patient with a mucocele affecting an unusually large sphenoid sinus with concomitant Graves-like ophthalmopathy that has been treated through functional endoscopic sinus surgery but also needed prolonged cortisonic treatment.
